to write religious articles for the Baptist
papers
Senator Blair often contributes articles to
the magazines on education and temperance
topics
Senator Ingalls, takes great pains to make
his contributions attractive, and seldom re-
fuses publishers request for his views
Senator Dawes is very fond of writing, and
nothing delights him mere than. a request for
an article on Indian affairs, of which he is
well informed.
Senator Ednunds writes briefly and for
chilly. He is not fond of writing but occa-
sionally a publisher induces him TO state his
views on some topic.
Senator Wade Hampton, although fond of
writing, cannot be said to be successful as a
literary man. His style is clumsy are his
use of words Is not always the best. When
one of his articles is published he buys 100 OF.
moro copies of the magazine and distributes
them among his friends.

A CoIored Scrap. "

Last Friday afternoon during
the hottest hour, two of the colored
gents, Robt Johnston Esq, and
Jerry Pollard engaged in a hand
to hand conflict in front of the
Star Store. Time was not called,
but they at once got down to bust
ness, and each made violent efforts
to bring the other to the pavement.
The business men and loafers, who
always happen to be up town, had
gone within doors, and with
handkerchief in one hand and fan
in the other were endeavoring to
keep cool. But the racket outside
sent an electric thrill throughout
the south side, and the stores were
instantly emptied of perspiring
humanity. who rushed for the
scene of battle, forgetting that the
thermometer was playing round
the 100 mark. 1t is safe to say
that no dog fight in this place ever
attracted larger crowd in shorter
time. There is no telling what
would have been the outcome of
the battle, had not constable
Sheeks come up at an opportune
moment and separated the dusky
combatants, whisking them off to
the Mayors office. The crowd tLen
gathered in little groups and dis
cussed the merits of the fight,
while his honor patiently heard the
evidence, and then administered
a fine to both for disturbing the
peace and breaking the sleepy
monotony of very warm after
noon.
